I have done a large meeting annually for 5 years in a row at this hotel. Typical Marriott product, nothing exceptional, but acceptable - built for meetings. Banquet staffers are absolutely driven to get it right, but consistently understaffed, making it impossible for them to be where they need to be all the time. If Marriott lightened up on their profit margin and staffed that hotel appropriately, it would be a wonderful choice.

Overall Rating: 3.8/5

Association PlannerFinancialSeptember 2015

Lots of meeting space and uber-easy shuttle to DCA makes this a good choice for us. But (presumably) budget cut backs make it hard to find an employee when you need one. It's too bad; the employees are helpful and willing, just pulled in too many directions to be effective. Banquet linens were torn and/or threadbare. The hotel would benefit from a little loosening of the purse strings.
